1 person ultralight backpacking shelter. This is my initial time setting up the poncho/tarp. I use a GoLite poncho, low-cost aluminium tent stakes, and kelty triptease line. I tied a bowline knot on the pole ends of the line and looped it back from the stakes into a prussic knot for tensioners. Get pleasure from.

    why would any one waste money on somethin like that? thats not a proper shelter, ya might as well just use one of your living room curtains.

    Thanks for this awesome video! I have been considering buying the Golite poncho tarp for some time, but was concerned that the setup might be troublesome. After watching your video, I just placed an order. Thanks for such a great video.

    one Brazilian hammock, one bivy-sack, and one emergency space blanket = light portable shelter. Water proof, user friendly, easy on ur back, unlike the ground.

    @fleischd1987 i’m 5’7, but you can get more room out of the set-up if you stake the back 2 corners instead of 3 corners. then set your poles at the front 2 corners. lots of ways to do it

    just curious how tall you are? im 6’2 so i might be getting close to the limit for this tarp to really fit comfortably. this really is one of the coolest pieces of gear around tho and for so cheap. saw it on sale for $65, not bad for a shelter, raingear, and pack cover. i also read that andrew skurka used it on one of his extremely long hikes so you know its durable.

    I’ve watched a million these vids and that’s got to one of coolest set ups that I’ve seen. So damn simple. Well done. Love the music.
